Russ Crescimanno, Bob Robinson, Sheila Smith, Carey Usher, John WellsSociology involves application of scientific principles and procedures to understand and solve the problems of social groups, organizations, and institutions. Many sociologists are involved in research; others manage; some teach. Though specific areas of expertise and abilities vary, sociologists command an arsenal of skills, knowledge, and experience that can be put to good use in an increasingly complex social world.

This course introduces students to social scientific theory explaining crime and criminal behavior, with an emphasis on sociological theory. This is an introductory-level class focusing on the basic principles of criminology from a sociological perspective. Course topics include basic concepts, different methods of measuring crime, diverse theories of criminology, and a focus on the social origins of crime and criminal behavior. Criminology has captured the attention of political scientists, biologists, anthropologists, psychologists, and sociologists. Legislators, politicians, mass media, law enforcement, the courts, and the corrections system all have a profound impact on the nature of crime. Indeed, crime is an integral part of the fabric of American life. Strongly recommended background: a 100-level sociology course.214 Sociology of Popular Culture (3 s.h.)
Acquaints students with study of popular culture in America with a focus upon sociological significance of such cultural products as television, radio, magazines, and popular music.222 Social Science Statistics (3 s.h.) (Q)
For course description, see INT 222 in the Interdisciplinary Studies listing.225 Sex Roles and Male-Female Relationships (3 s.h.) (G)

This course will survey social theories that have been developed about deviant, non-conformist, behavior and will survey a selection of the many studies that have been conducted on this topic. The student will learn how deviance is socially constructed when members of a society or group define the actions of others as being outside the boundaries of normative, approved, behavior. Reactions by those in power emphasize these boundaries, and these reactions are a major force defining the culture of a society. Classical sociological theorists often considered the creation of deviance as fundamental to the creation of integrated groups and societies. Time has only reinforced the validity of their insight.
233 The Criminal Justice System (3 s.h.)
Considers various elements of criminal justice system in an historical and cultural context. Functions of police, courts, lawyers, jails, bail, and prisons are examined as they relate to the assigning of the label of either juvenile delinquent or criminal.

Alternate years.262 Environment, Society, and the Sustainability Movement (3 s.h.) (T)
This course focuses on the "sustainability movement," a broad ranging set of groups, organizations, and policies advocating human development that insures the well-being of both the social and natural worlds. This movement is an attempt to resolve a long-standing dispute between those who place their hopes in unfettered technological development and those who call for the preservation of "nature." As a course in social movements, we will consider the historical roots of today's movement for sustainability. We will also analyze the conceptual and organizational forms that this movement takes in our day.

Mickey Baker: 5 Funky Facts About 'Love Is Strange'
Posted By Patrick Kiger On December 3, 2012 @ 1:42 pm In Legacy | No Comments
The famed rock critic Dave Marsh once called Mickey Baker "the first great rock and roll guitarist." While that might offend fans of such better-known stars as Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry, there's a certain amount of truth to the hype. In the 1950s, Baker was a sought-after studio musician, playing on R&B records such as the Drifters' "Money Honey," Big Joe Turner's "Shake, Rattle and Roll," and Big Maybelle's "Whole Lot of Shakin' Goin' On," and his aggressive, riveting solos influenced generations of rock bands.
But for Baker, who died on Nov. 27 at age 87 at his home near Toulouse in Southern France, is known mostly for 1956's "Love Is Strange." The jangly, hypnotic single, which he recorded with Sylvia Vanderpool Robinson under the moniker Mickey & Sylvia, became a million-seller and reached number one on Billboard's R&B chart. But Baker's lone big hit went on to have an extended afterlife, in which it was covered by artists ranging from the Everly Brothers and Paul McCartney to Kenny Rogers. It appears on the soundtrack of the 1987 movie Dirty Dancing, and most recently, the guitar and chorus was sampled by Pitbull for his song "Back in Time," from the 2012 movie Men in Black 3.
Here are some facts about one of the most influential singles of all time, and the man behind it.

Ohio man threatened to kill President Bush, bomb DIA
Federal prosecutors have indicted an Ohio man who they say threatened to bomb the Denver International Airport and then shoot himself in the bathroom this October. According to the indictment, if he somehow survived the bomb and the gunshot (apparently he didn't have much confidence in his mayhem skills), he would kill President Bush.
"I am going to place a bomb in the Denver International Airport on Friday Oct. 17, 2008 at 3:00 p.m.," he wrote, according to the indictment. "I will shoot myself in the ladies room at 3:30 p.m. because I do not want to live any longer. If I live I will kill President Bush."
According to his threats, the alleged DIA violence was to take place the next day, October 17. It didn't, as far as we know, and Purvis has now been indicted on nine various counts, including threatening to whack the president. And he was indicted in southern Ohio, one of the few places where people actually like the president.
Frederick Purvis, of Hamilton, Ohio, made the poorly conceived threats on October 16, in a message sent to the Department of Treasury web site, some Denver TV stations, and the DIA web site. For good measure, he also threatened to blow up a variety of bridges and stadiums in Ohio, and to kill someone named Tracy Jones, who we can only assume is a woman who came to her senses.
Read the indictment here. -- Joe Tone

By using non-Gaussian, flat-topped beams in the advanced gravitational wave interferometers currently being designed, one can reduce the impact on the interferometer sensitivity of a variety of fundamental disturbances (thermoelastic noise, noise in mirror coatings, thermal lensing, etc). This may make beating the standard quantum limit an achievable goal.

Summary: are not known, although it is assumed that configural strategies normally supersede elemental strategies. The lion's share of work implicat- ing the hippocampus in contextual conditioning has been derived from studies of fear conditioning in rats. In fear conditioning tasks, discrete and/or contextual CSs that are paired with footshock come to evoke conditional fear responses (CRs) such as defecation, potentiated acoustic startle, elevated blood pressure and freezing. In many laboratories, contextual fear is assessed by returning the rats to the condition- ing chamber and measuring freezing. That the hippocampus plays an impor- tant role in contextual fear condition- ing is indicated by studies demonstrat- ing that dorsal hippocampal lesions

which emerged on the basis open of mystery natural selection and reproduction of viable organisms http://picasaweb.google.ru/valentindolzhenko Abstract On the example of mammals, experimentally discovered the criterion of health, under which performs the action: natural selection and reproduction of viable organisms, and also an interdiction and realization of infinite variants of pathology. This criterion allows carrying out control of parental levels of viability before conception of descendants and opens a new era in prevention of illnesses at animals and people in the course of their reproduction. In connection with absence of the criterion necessary for differential diagnostics and the control of viability of organisms, against the background of a wide range of hereditary, congenital and acquired diseases that threaten the extinction of mankind, the animal industries and public health services undergo huge losses, and therefore unable to restore the lost viability of historically: - None at the expense of finance and technical resources; - None through the use of a huge army of specialists and scientific institutions, who vainly try to explore the infinite diversity of individual diseases; - Not by the grace of distorting the reality of the laws. Disclosing of secret of natural selection and reproduction of viable organisms has specified interrelation between preservation and development of the nature, and in particular, between a quantitative constancy of individuals and the qualitative variability which is directed aside their perfection. The indissolubility contradictory forms of being, which was discovered experimentally, radically changes representation about development and preservation of the nature, because the set of known facts confirming the presence in the nature of the phenomena of preservation and development, by mistake, then there is a lack of justification, have been erected by science, to the rank of isolated and therefore distort the reality of the laws. As for the policies of the World Health Organization, I propose to establish an International Center for Prevention of Illnesses in Progeny of humans and animals, because control of viability, is an inevitable necessity for survival and further development of mankind in the unity of organisms of the environment. Method of preventing illnesses in the progeny of people and animals It is known, that an infinite variety of organisms survived and prospered during many billions years in absence of modern ways of diagnostics and treatment of illnesses. Moreover, this process proceeded steadily in the absence of substantiation of nature conservation in isolation from development in accordance with the laws, which were then invented in the science. Very good, that in ancient times there was no need to prove the conservation of nature in isolation from the development in accordance with complete distortion of worldview and the reality in modern science. And, because: - In three separated laws of philosophy cannot be and really there is no concrete formulation about development of the nature; - And about its preservation cannot be and really there is no concrete formulation in three separated laws, introductions or the beginnings of all beginnings of thermodynamics; - Also as well as in three laws of dynamics; Modern representation about of being resembles, more an earlier worldview, in conformity with which the World stood on three whales, three elephants and a turtle! Time has shown that we cannot get rid separately from parasitic, bacterial, viral, immune, allergic, nervous, mental, cardiovascular, oncology, endocrine, etc. disease. Attempt, undertaken in science for the purpose to prevent the individual variants of Pathology among its infinite diverse of manifestations, - unavoidably gave birth to the unrealizable for the financing branched profile of scientific establishments, where specialists work a specific profile: cardiologists, TB doctors, pulmonologists, ophthalmologists, helminthological, pathologists, transplant, gastroenterologists, psychiatrists, neurologists, physiologists, pathophysiology, trauma, hematologists, immunologists, endocrinologists, bacteriology, virology, neurosurgeons, dentists, obstetricians, biochemists, biophysics, pharmacists, astrologers, psychologists, geneticists, otolaryngologists, and so on. In particular, for the penultimate seems to lack only a few nanometers, with the purpose to deepen into the structure of chromosomes, genes, its molecules and atoms, to understand the cause of the problem. As a result, the treatment from of many diseases, mentioned in the list: patients along and across the rugged a under the influence of the scalpel, poisoned by the chemistry, of deep-irradiated, they will inevitably come to my colleague - the therapist, who in the course of training at university with a huge variety of medical disciplines that are inaccessible to the mind, to knows a little of everything, about everything, but specifically about anything. So, for example, difficulty for detect changes in DNA structure and genes, as a rule, are expressed in ugliness resistant to treatment in organisms that is accessible to diagnostics and not the naked eye. This fact indicates that modern genetics cannot provide the diagnosis and monitoring of the set variable levels of viability in the absence of overt signs of pathology. However, she obsessively tries to make it through the anti-scientific lies and advertising gimmicks designed to redemption unjustified hopes and expended wasted trillions of Finance. For example pregnancy, in healthy rats, which takes place against a background of semi-starvation diet of protein, was escorted into childhood dystrophy, dental caries, irreversible changes in tissues and organs up and decrease the concentration of DNA in cells, not without changing its structure. Having lost the way among two birches, in the form of purine and pyrimidine the bases: adenine - guanine and thymine – uracil, genetics exaggerate value of DNA in an organism together with own applicability in a science and a practice. Consequence of it became below mentioned a reality, perverted to the detriment of health of animals and people. In anxiety concerning what ugliness will be born in following generation, we distinctly realize similar to researchers in the field of genetics an outstanding role of surgeons in reproduction of cardio-defects, a harelip, blindness, absence in the newborn organism from intestines of the external aperture and so it is infinite. In the field of experimental oncology it was possible to be convinced, that the researchers can sometimes get rid of cancer cells and from a tumor how to get rid of signal light bulb by means of a hammer, but not from of cause, which have generated illness, her inevitable return after treatment and death of an organism. Coming back to a problem of our survival and development in unity of organisms of an environment will be pertinently to mention about arisen virus epidemic at sheep's and furiousness at cows on the Native land of cloning of mammals. In the same place, researchers have undertaken search of a nonexistent gene in the nature which would supervise health or longevity irrespective of a full set of chromosomes. By the way, the cloning of organisms, with similar to us dystrophies on an example of brothers smaller, in the absence of quality selection, and together with and absence it variability of biological forms, that encompasses the need for their perfection, was inevitably expressed in the loss of organisms ability to their survival. In particular, the cloning was aggravated with occurrence of a congenital arthritis in sheep's, and a birth of the person - the ugly creature. The prevailing part of sheep's has been destroyed in connection with virus epidemic, in consequence of that, on a fire has burned down together with wool of 10 million sheep's. As a result, Kingdom of the Great Britain has lost 12 billion pounds sterling, besides is absolute without a guarantee to exclude relapse of epidemic. Financial losses will reach trillions, if to consider natural occurrence in the same country of a spongy encephalopathy, i.e. furiousness at the cows, in the World patients with leukemia of herd and destroyed owing to flu very much a plenty of birds which also are intended for a food of people not without damage to their health. "Euro news" report 2002-11-29. This problem was further exacerbated by and in all countries the World. Materials and research methods Initially, the experimental search was undertaken for obtain one of the tests early diagnosis of cancer with the probability of detecting changes in metabolism, characteristic of this disease, that in turn will help to clarify the cause of its occurrence in the organism. In order to identify features in the metabolism of healthy and diseased organisms, as extremely weakened condition of the latter was adopted by the spontaneous and carcinogen-induced cancer, hereditary predisposition to him, and other illness. In the experiments, were used: laboratory and wild mice, rats and more 20 species mammals at the zoo, as well as people of different ages, gender, and athletes. Calculation of speed of metabolic processes was carried out by means of the attitude between quantity mcg of the general nitrogen, parallel with the amino acids (in daily urine) and weight of an organism in grams: mcg / gr. of body weight. These indicators reflect the level that is the rate of protein metabolism that is associated with other forms of exchange in the organisms, along with changes its immune, nervous, cardiovascular, lymphatic, endocrine systems, and so on. Research results and discussion The success has brought one of many experiments, allowed to reveal long-awaited distinction. This difference consisted in the of quantity free amino acids which are present in the daily urine of individual organisms. In a consequence, correlation between change of the given parameter and quantity of the general nitrogen in daily urine has been tracked. Together they represent a level that is the rate of metabolism of nitrogen or protein, where higher settings belong to healthy, low - sick organisms. The experts involved in cultivation of laboratory animals with surprise have apprehended the found out fact. Perhaps by mistake, whether as humor, but happens so, that instead of healthy animals, workers vivarium have given out three groups of linear mice of the same color, a floor and age for the further researches. In these mice at two monthly age had predisposition 100 % to a cancer of a mammary gland, lungs and the blood, enshrined in the offspring by inbreeding for decades and hundreds of generations (typically, the tumor in mice occurs after the year). During registration and comparison of levels of a metabolism at mice, to surprise of the experts, the mistake has been easily detected. And that the low level of a metabolism is found out not only in parents at presence of tumors, but also at their absence at children at young age is very important. The successful beginning of researches was interrupted with unique experiment. It has appeared, that the found out distinction in levels is property not only oncological, but also other illnesses. In the jungles of an uncharted path of an artifact has caused in the researcher a panic, disappointment and a shock simultaneously. Exit out of the impasse was visible only through the upcoming confirmation of a new hypothesis in the unity of a set of the previous assumptions. In particular, it was necessary to prove, that the found out criterion is universal for various illnesses. But for a substantiation of the given hypothesis it was necessary to be convinced of absolutely opposite circumstance of things, namely that high levels of a metabolism belong to wild animals which constantly undergo natural selection. Confirmation of the new assumptions evident in the experimentally detected in the confrontation between the high level of metabolism in wild mice and rats, compared with a low level - at the weakened animal vivarium suffering from cancer. This opposition reflects the difference found in more than 10 times and averaged 3.5-fold. The reliability of selected areas of research confirmed in the following set of experiments (Tables: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Pictures: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). In the progeny traced the continuity of levels of metabolism from parents; Prevailing influence of levels in the offspring was dictated by the condition of the fetus during pregnancy in the womb; It is shown that viability in the offspring gradually is lost, depending on the reduction of levels and, on the contrary, restored in accordance with the increase of parental levels of metabolism; It turned out, that low levels of metabolism are allowed and, conversely, high - prohibit the manifestation of any pathology; That's why in order to prevent the weak and get viable offspring prior to conception of the latter, in laboratory animals has been made the selection of parents with high levels of metabolism. The ability to quickly get rid of cancer, which was secured in the offspring for decades and hundreds of generations, has been provided through selection and breeding of mice with high levels of metabolism. By studying the levels of metabolism in paddlers, swimmers and wrestlers, to the surprise of trainers, easy to identify the confrontation of individual performance sport. Also revealed that historically people have lost high level of a metabolism and, therefore, he needs to recover. As a result we are forced to silently contemplate: and the indomitable growth of a wide range of diseases, and the probability of extinction of humanity. During the registration of levels at different species of zoo mammals it has been shown that the high metabolism levels are typical not only for small, but also for big animals with weight of 100 kg and more. Study have shown, that accepted as criterion of viability levels of energy, a matter, exchange interaction or a metabolism possess the contradictory affiliation and express an infinite variety of forms of movement, or attributes of being. In particular, inconsistent character of levels belongs: - Opposite sexes – male and female; - Natural selection and reproduction – qualitative and quantitative; - Onto- and phylogenetic - spatial and temporal; - Species and individuality – universal and particular; - Synthesis and destruction – anabolic and catabolic; - Quiescence and motion – potential and kinetic; - Health and disease - normal and pathological and so on. For example, qualitative selection of the most viable organisms, that have high metabolism levels and corresponding fertileness, provides preservation of a kind, i.e. quantitative reproduction of descendants in excess. In its turn quantitative reproduction of descendants provides perfection of species, i.e. qualitative selection of the most viable organisms according to the high metabolism level. In a similar way takes place realize ontogeny and phylogeny, where spatial or intrauterine level of fetus provides the temporal, that is, level of a metabolism of an adult organism, after a birth, and on the contrary. The same way displays inherent the for self-motion's, the connection between the type and individual organisms, potential and kinetic, destruction and synthesis, negation and affirmation etc. Conclusions: In the study of metabolism in mammals, discovered the criterion of health, under which performs the action: natural selection and reproduction of viable organisms, and also an interdiction and realization of infinite variants of pathology. On the example of the variability of levels of metabolism, which reflect the degree of health or viability of the organisms was traced the interconnection of such phenomena as: the preservation and development, space and time, the universal and particular, the potential and kinetic, denial and assertion (that is, synthesis and destruction, integration and disintegration), and so on. In nature, there is the relationship and such phenomena as: Finite and infinite; Discontinuous and continuous; Centrifugal and centripetal; Ideal and real; The divine and the diabolical; The holy and the sinful; Spin and invariance; Charm and strangeness; "Independent" from the policy newspaper; Or, new covenants, which come to replace outdated light. This means that in nature no other manifestation, except contradictory and therefore consisting in causal link t levels of exchange interaction, of energy, that is, forms of movement! Disclosing of secret of natural selection and reproduction of viable organisms has specified interrelation between preservation and development of the nature, and in particular, between a quantitative constancy of individuals and the qualitative variability which is directed aside their perfection. The indissolubility contradictory forms of being, which was discovered experimentally, radically changes representation about development and preservation of the nature. In accordance with the set of known facts in science, it was established presence in the nature of the phenomena of conservation and development. However, as revealed in the present study, these phenomena are in error, that is, in absence of justification were raised to the rank independent of each other's laws that distort reality. Thus the, was found a causal link, which is the basis of self-motion contradictory forms of being or natural phenomena. It means that the nature cannot undergo development without preservation, as well as preservation without development at any level of the organization. In it testify the levels of a metabolism that belong the concrete form of organisms. Owing to misunderstanding mutual conditionality of things, philosophers by means of fiction have erected preservation and development of the nature above a variety integrated, and equal in significance opposite forms of movement. This circumstance of things promoted occurrence of the "basic" question in philosophy "about the superiority: the being - above a consciousness and, on the contrary". Incorrectly formulated question not only has perverted interrelation of ideal and real in the process of knowledge, but also has generated one-sidedly-ugly and consequently irreconcilable idealists and materialists. This discovery contains a new worldview in the natural sciences, health, veterinary and medicine, philosophy and science in general. As for my view on this policy, I propose to establish an International Center for Prevention of Illnesses in Progeny of humans and animals, because control of viability, is an inevitable necessity for survival and further development of mankind in the unity of organisms of the environment. And because of levels exchange interaction or a metabolism possesses the contradictory affiliation and expresses an infinite variety of forms of movement, they is able to initiate the chain of causation. Thus, the Law being is in the fact, the in nature no other of manifestation, except the contradictory levels energy, of exchange interaction, that is forms of movement! Philosophy, together with its set of disparate laws and categories will exist as long as philosophers do not imbued with the fact that all things in nature are composed in of a causal link. In bypassing the philosophy, the researchers will inevitably be forced to adopt scientifically based worldview - experimentally established law of being. http://vfc.org.ru/rus/forum/index.php?PAGE...&FID=16&TID=365 Results of the present researches can be used also: - In a reproduction of new breeds and kinds of animals; - In epidemiology; - In the sanitary control of animals intended for the food industry; - In selection of methods of treatment and their forecasting; - In perfection of criteria of viability; - In the army; - In a sport; - In protection of motherhood and the childhood.

EWTN Catholic Q&A |
Re: Confession Question from AY on 11-20-2012: |
Dear Fr. Echert,
I am responding to my previous post. Yes, I can go to another church for confession. My confession is very brief, less than 4 minutes, when I make my confession with this priest. This priest only wants to hear the sins that we commit and he does not want us to elaborate when we mention them. I follow what he wants in the confessional. So every time my confession is very brief. He said that I may be scrupulous but I tried to explain to him that I just want to stay closer to Jesus. I want to love Jesus more and more. By going to confession each week helps me grow in the love of God and remind me that I am a sinner. I need God's help. What is wrong with that? Now, I feel like going to confession is something I should not be doing and I don't need to go to confession. That's not good that I have these thoughts as this may be a temptation. What he said to me just discourage me from going to confession. Fr. Echert, please tell me what to do in order to resume my desire to go to confession as before. Thank you and God bless you. |
Answer by Fr. John Echert on 11-20-2012: |
Honestly, you will not likely be able to change the negative dynamic that has developed
with this particular priest. Just as I suggest to some folks that they may need to change
where they attend Mass, for just concerns, in this case I suggest a different priest. Once
found it should work itself out and you should be fine. God bless father Echert www.ewtn.com |

Why Canada Stocks?
Well, there are a few reasons. First is the financial angle. Canada's banks hold their residential mortgages. They do not sell them or repackage mortgages for securitization. That has allowed the nation to avoid the major damage that the financial crisis caused U.S. banks. Also, Canada is resource rich but politically stable — a combination rare in this world right now. For instance, 33 million Canadians produce nearly as much GDP every year as 142 million Russians — but the Heritage Foundation's Index of Economic Freedom lists Canada as number 7. By comparison, Russia ranked 143rd. And if by chance the U.S. pulls out of its tailspin, Canada will share in that success too. After all, it is the United States' top import and export partner. Oil sands and natural gas from Canada will always find a market in the U.S. Canada is known as the Saudi Arabia of oil sands and today is America's largest supplier of imported oil. But since Canada's resource export success isn't tied to the U.S. — during 2009, Canada geared up its exports across the Pacific to resource-hungry China and Singapore — that means America's recovery is a "nice to have" and not a "must have" for Canada to succeed in 2011. So where can you put your cash to share in the Canada boom? Here are seven investments to consider. |
#1 – Canadian National Railway
I have recommended Canadian National Railway (NYSE: CNI) as one of my top 10 overall investments to subscribers of my Intelligence Report advisory service for three of the last four months. My price charts show that the stock is nearing new highs with more room to run. In July, the board announced the repurchase of 2 million more shares as part of the company's ongoing 15-million-share repurchase program. CNI saw double-digit growth in its coal, auto, metal and minerals and intermodal freight traffic in its second quarter earnings report. As our resource-rich neighbors to the north continue to power through the economic downturn, rail stocks moving Canada's commodities will continue to fare well |
#2 – Canadian Pacific Railway
Another great Canada rail stock is Canadian Pacific Railway (NYSE: CP). In the second quarter of 2010, Canadian Pacific moved +22.4% more freight than it did in the second quarter of 2009. CP moved the freight for 9.7% less per unit, but the volume more than offset the lowered pricing. CP's excellent performance in the second quarter was powered by +93.7% growth in the amount of sulfur and fertilizers it moved during the quarter compared to last year. Recent resistance near $60 is the last stopping point before pre-recession levels near $70. |
#3 – Bank of Nova Scotia
I am impressed with the Bank of Nova Scotia (NYSE: BNS) right now. Known as Scotiabank, BNS recently purchased the Colombian operations of The Royal Bank of Scotland (NYSE: RBS), expanding its considerable presence in South America. Prudent management at BNS has been good for shareholders, while the reckless risk-taking at RBS had predictable results. Scotiabank has outperformed the market handily, including a +4% gain year-to-date compared with a slide of about -4% for the broader market. Top it off with a 3.7% dividend yield, and you have yourself a good low-risk buy. Looking for more safe, high-yield stocks? Read: 7 Dividend Stocks to Grow Your Nest Egg |
#4 – Royal Bank of Canada
Canada's 2010 budget promises the lowest corporate tax rate in the G-7 by 2012. The current rate of 22.12% will be reduced to 15% by 2012, making Canada much more competitive. Look for a flood of American companies to cross the border, along with their capital investments, to take advantage of the lower tax rates. That means big business for the Royal Bank of Canada (NYSE: RY), the largest Canadian Bank. RY stock is around $50 as of this writing, making it a great value buy near the bottom of its 52-week range. |
#5 – Toronto Dominion Bank
Another strong Canada financial stock is Toronto Dominion Bank (NYSE: TD). TD Bank, as it is now known, is a leader in personal and commercial banking in Canada and the U.S., wealth management through its TD Waterhouse brokerage services, insurance and wholesale banking. TD has tallied nearly +10% gains year-to-date and continues to push higher. Top that off with a 3.4% dividend yield at current valuations paid all the way back 1857, and you can understand why this is a great bedrock investment. |
#6 – CurrencyShares Canadian Dollar Trust
As the U.S. dollar faces a weaker future thanks to overspending in Washington, the specter of inflation and overall economic stagnation, the Canadian Dollar should fare well. The oil, timber, metals and other commodities in Canada will only become more valuable if inflation does take off. What's more, while the euro zone and the U.S. are still reeling from the depth of the financial crisis, Canada's financial system and government spending have not been nearly as ugly. All that adds up to good things for the CurrencyShares Canadian Dollar Trust (NYSE: FXC) as a way to play the rising Canadian dollar in the months ahead. |
#7 – iShares MSCI Canada Index Fund
If you're not eager to take a stake in an individual Canada stock, or if you just don't have enough money to invest in Canada and stay diversified, consider carving out a piece of the iShares MSCI Canada Index Fund (EWC). This Canada ETF fund is a great way to play the entire country's strength. Top holdings include the aforementioned Royal Bank of Canada (6.8% as of 7/30), TD bank (5.7%) and Scotiabank (4.7%). Also included are Canada commodity stocks such as Barrick Gold (NYSE: ABX) and Canadian Natural Resources (NYSE: CNQ), each with a stake of over 3% in this fund. As of this writing, Richard Young was recommending all of these investments to subscribers of his Intelligence Report advisory service. |

"The construction on the Hominy Creek bridge forces me to leave 15 minutes earlier from my house to get to work on time," Curry said. "With traffic down to one lane in each direction, it makes for a slow go during morning and evening rush hours."
Air Force was her ticket out of Fayette
Vicky Weaver still feels a twinge of guilt when she recalls encouraging her daughter Rebecca, now 22, to join the Air Force after graduating from Fayette High School four years ago.
"Being here, she just had bad influences," Weaver said.
Rebel flag flies at Missouri memorial
JEFFERSON CITY — Hundreds of people turned out for a Confederate memorial service Sunday held under the rebel battle flag as others demonstrated their disapproval outside the Missouri Governor's Mansion.
The crowd at the annual ceremony at Confederate Memorial State Historic Site in Higginsville was about four times larger than organizers had expected. Site administrator Greta Marshall attributed the roughly 400-person turnout to the return of the Confederate flag.
Battle over bridge gets political
JEFFERSON CITY — For quite a while now, Katy Railroad Bridge 191.1 over the Missouri River literally has been a bridge to nowhere.
The last locomotive crossed its steel frame when Ronald Reagan was president. And it's not even possible for a train to try it again.
Sierra Club supports lawsuit
The statewide chapter of the Sierra Club on Sunday gave its support to Attorney General Jay Nixon's legal efforts to prevent removal of a historic railroad bridge at Boonville.
The Ozark chapter's leadership voted to oppose plans by Union Pacific to dismantle the bridge and use parts of it elsewhere.
Methodist bishop warns of bankruptcy
A $6 million judgment against the United Methodist Church in Missouri is about $500,000 more than the church's total net assets and could bankrupt the church, the Missouri conference's new bishop told members over the weekend.
Last month, a Springfield jury awarded $4 million in punitive damages to Teresa Norris, who already had been awarded $2 million in compensatory damages.
Love for lost dog fuels a search
Jianna and Michael Beeson went to work together every day and fell asleep together every night. Their picture is posted in the United Church of Christ album with all of the other families and is mounted on the wall at the home of Beeson's parents. Beeson brought Jianna almost everywhere, and even his friends became attached to the mixed-breed dog.
"If I was coming, they knew she was coming," Beeson said.
Mavericks bagged
Mavericks manager Jim Gentile had a pulse on the 922 fans who attended his team's 7-3 loss to Gateway Sunday night.
"I think they're coming just to see if we can win now," he said.
Water's fine for boarding showcase
When the sun is shining and the water is sparkling you can find wakeboarder Nick Franklin on the water.
Saturday and Sunday, Franklin was at Pa He Tsi State Park at Lake of the Ozarks for the Midwestcoast Summerfest II. About 2,500 attended with 36 wakeboarders taking part in the competition.
Houston wards off Cards
HOUSTON — Trailing 3-0 after the top half of the first inning, Roger Clemens sidled up to Astros manager Phil Garner in the dugout and warned him to get ready for a long afternoon.
Most days, that's an insurmountable deficit for the worst offense in the majors. On Sunday, Houston erased it by the second inning and finally gave their ace some run support.
Frustrating loss ends Missouri's season
Missouri's baseball team was eliminated from NCAA regional play Sunday night in an 8-6 loss to host Cal State Fullerton.
The Tigers led 6-5 after six innings but gave up three runs in the top of the ninth. Fullerton's Sergio Perdoza's two-run home run caped the Titans rally and his diving catch with runners on first and second in the bottom of the ninth ended the Tigers hopes.
Royals crowned
KANSAS CITY — Kenny Rogers won his career-best eighth consecutive start with seven sharp innings in the Texas Rangers' 8-1 triumph against the Kansas City Royals on Sunday.
Rogers gave up five hits and a run, lowering his American League-leading ERA to 1.62. The left-hander, last lost April 18 at Tampa Bay.. The 40-year-old Rogers who had a 31-inning scoreless streak from April 27-May 20, had his shutout spoiled with two outs in the seventh inning when Joe McEwing hit a run-scoring double.

My 2011 Baseball Hall Of Fame Ballot
Now technically I'm not a voter so I really have no say on who gets into Cooperstown (which is a shame because there are so many clowns that are voters). Nonetheless, here is who I would vote for on Wednesday for the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

Garbage Excessive Celebration Call In Pinstripe Bowl Ruins Kansas State's Chances To Tie
With his team down 36-28 to Syracuse with 84 seconds left in the inaugural Pinstripe Bowl, Kansas State's Adrian Hillburn scored a touchdown to bring the Wildcats within two. He then saluted the crowd and got flagged for an excessive celebration, which ruined his team's chances at tying the game and they ultimately fell to the Orange 36-34. Take a look.

NFL Week 17 Picks
Alas it is the final week of the 2010 NFL season and while most of the playoff spots have been wrapped up already, there are still a few berths that are up in the air going into the finale.
- AFC South Divisional Championship
- Colts in with a win over the Titans (4:15, CBS)
- Jaguars in with a win over the Texans (4:15, CBS) and a Colts loss
- NFC West Divisional Championship
- Rams in with a win over the Seahawks or tie (8:20, NBC)
- Seahawks in with a win over the Rams
- NFC Wild Card: 6 Seed
- Packers in with a win over the Bears (4:15, FOX) or a loss by the Buccaneers and Giants
- Giants in with a win over the Redskins (4:15, FOX) and a Packers loss
- Buccaneers in with a win over the Saints (FOX, 1:00), a Packers loss and a Giants loss
So who will make it to the playoffs? And who will go into the playoffs or the offseason with a victory in their finale?
It's time for my week 17 predictions.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 18 —Yahoo Inc reported an uptick in revenue that marked its first quarterly sales growth in three years, as new Chief Executive Scott Thompson spearheads the latest attempt to revamp the struggling Web company.
Thompson told analysts on a conference call that Yahoo was once more exploring a simpler deal to try and "monetise" its 40 per cent slice of China's Alibaba, a stake valued at billions of dollars and that Yahoo once discussed unloading.
Thompson did not elaborate, but his comments suggest the company — which broke off deal talks with Alibaba and Softbank last year — was willing to go back to the negotiating table.
Analysts pointed out that much of the increase in quarterly profit came from Yahoo's earnings in equity interests, which more than doubled year-on-year and comprise mainly its investments in Alibaba as well as Yahoo Japan.
"Their minority stake in their investments is generating more profit than their core business," said BGC Partners analyst Colin Gillis. "Here is the one piece that is always sad about Yahoo. Their income from operations was about US$169 million (RM518 million) and their earning and equity interest was about US$172 million."
The core business beyond China and Japan looked mixed.
Finance chief Tim Morse told Reuters in an interview that better-than-expected pricing for its search ads helped the company increase its quarterly net revenue year-on-year for the first time since the third quarter of 2008.
But its core display advertising business declined 4 per cent during the first quarter.
Shares of Yahoo, which closed Tuesday's regular trading session at $15.01, were trading up at US$15.38 in after hours trading on Tuesday.
Yahoo said it earned net income of US$286 million, or 23 cents a share, in the three months ended March 31, versus US$223 million, or 17 cents a share, in the year-ago period. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S were looking for EPS of 17 cents.
It forecast net revenue in the second quarter of between US$1.03 billion and US$1.14 billion.
Once one of the Web industry's pioneering companies, Yahoo has seen its growth stunted in recent years amid competition from Google and Facebook.
Thompson, the former president of PayPal who took the reins in January, announced plans this month to lay off 14 per cent of Yahoo's staff and reorganize the management structure.
Investors are looking for more details of Thompson's strategic plans during Yahoo's conference call with analysts on Tuesday afternoon.
"We know we have work to do. We aspire to being a higher growth and more profitable company, but it was a solid quarter," said Morse.
He added that the broader online advertising market is affected by economic uncertainty in Europe and parts of Asia and that industry growth rates will be more moderate than the past couple of years.
The company's net revenue, which excludes payments to partners, totalled US$1.077 billion in the first quarter, compared to US$1.064 billion in the year ago period. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S were looking for net revenue of US$1.06 billion. — Reuters

Ticket Holders/PSL Owners; Protect Your Account!
If you've ever sold your tickets, tailgate or parking passes; protect your account!
These all have your account number on them and it it VERY easy to do transactions over the phone with the Texans. I've read/heard horror stories when it comes to playoff tickets (in many sports) about scamsters calling in and getting tickets out from under the account holders, simply by having the account number. I called the Texans today and had a security alert added to our accounts. Now, no one can do any transactions without a password. With everyone gettin' all crazy like about the playoffs, wanted to share with you

Re: Ticket Holders/PSL Owners; Protect Your Account!
But, yeah, you have a good point. I call the Texans, I give them my account number, they say "Mr. Flintstone?" I say "yes do XYZ", they say "charge to the MasterCard on file?" I say "yeah, that's it!". So yeah, pretty easy doing business on the phone if you have an account number... |

Re: Ticket Holders/PSL Owners; Protect Your Account!
Hell, if someone else paid for my playoff tickets I would then e-mail them to me, thus cancelling the paper tickets.
I would be out the paper tickets but have free playoff tickets! |

Hi all,
This is my first post, and im just wondering something......
I have a 2009 (09) 1.6 TDCI.
Ive heard lots of horror stories about the turbos failing on the engine due to the engineering between the hoses, the sump and the turbo (its the same as in the mini, pug hdi, citroen etc ive been told?) From what ive read it seems that they are "garrett" (if ive spelt right) turbos.
After looking at my engine and turbo, nowhere does it state garrett on the turbo body it just states various numbers.
Also there are marks on the bolt heads and bolt housing, where it looks to me they have been marked for the correct torque settings for when the turbo unit is removed and put back on.....Why would someone do this for a car with 23k on the clock?
Ive taken a photo so you can see (i hope its right size etc for the forum as i dont know how to scale it)
Also do the new TDCI units still suffer with this problem of turbo failure, as again when reading i get mixed responces. Some people say yes but only on focus and others say no, it was rectified on the MK7, and then there are people who say yes the turbo fails on all TDCI's
Please help/advice

the markings are done when it is first assembled, so they know they did the bolt up, they will be all over the car

cheers, i was just wondering if someone else had done it post factory.
Well it drives fine, and i spoke to a mechanic who recommends an oil service every 6 months outside of guidlines just to be safe (and for £25 i think its worth it!)

The pivotal replication happens on the London Underground, moments after Helen (Paltrow) has lost her job as a publicist. Helen 1--who catches her train--meets dream man James (John Hannah), arrives home in time to find scummy boyfriend Jerry (John Lynch) in bed with his megabitch ex Lydia (Jeanne Tripplehorn), dumps the bastard, gets a fetching blond do, and sets up her own PR firm. Helen 2--who misses the train and is mugged immediately after--is reduced to delivering sandwiches and waiting tables, takes to wearing her brown hair in pigtails, and (though she doesn't seem to be having sex with Jerry) becomes pregnant.
Paltrow, if nothing else, sports a convincing enough English accent--listen for her pitch-perfect utterances of twat, shag, and bollocks. Hannah's James is a wisecracking blabbermouth who thinks he's much funnier than he is (come back, Hugh Grant, all is forgiven). Worst off, Tripplehorn is required to play an irredeemably grotesque Other Woman and speak some of the worst lines in film history (one metaphor-choked tantrum has her catching the "Jerry Express" out of "Limbo Central" and "Indecision City"). Unduly smug about its flashy conceit and otherwise utterly empty, the film plays like lobotomized Kieslowski, less Blind Chance than dumb luck.

Pier Ferdinando Casini (Italian pronunciation: [ˈpjɛr ferdiˈnando kaˈzini]; born 3 December 1955) is an Italian politician.[1] He was President of the Italian Chamber of Deputies from 2001 to 2006.[2] Casini is currently Honorary President of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), President of the Christian Democratic International, and majority faction leader of the Union of the Centre (UdC).
Casini was born in Bologna and graduated with a degree in law. He was first elected in 1983 for the Christian Democracy party. In 1993, he was amongst the founders of the Christian Democratic Centre (CCD), which merged into Union of Christian and Centre Democrats (UDC) in 2002. In 2001, after Silvio Berlusconi's victory in the general election, Casini was chosen by the newly formed parliament as President of the Chamber of Deputies (the Italian lower house of parliament). Up to 2006, with his UDC, he was widely regarded as one of the primary members of the House of Freedoms, and sometimes spoken of as a possible successor to Berlusconi himself as leader of the coalition. However, as the campaign for the 2008 Italian elections began, Casini officially detached himself from Berlusconi, refusing to enter his 'People of Freedom' (PdL, name of the new party built on the House of Freedoms coalition), preferring to run alone. In a speech to his UDC party, Casini said that "not everyone is for sale", in a not so veiled statement about Berlusconi's political tactics. Casini ran on a purely 'centrist' platform, founding the new Union of the Centre party along with Savino Pezzotta's White Rose. After 2008, he remained in opposition. At the 2009 Administrative elections, alliances were decided on a local bases, sometimes with The People of Freedom, and sometimes with the Democratic Party.
After his divorce from Roberta Lubich (mother of his two daughters, Maria Carolina and Benedetta), he started dating and eventually moved in with Azzurra Caltagirone, daughter of the famous Roman entrepreneur and publisher Francesco Gaetano Caltagirone. Later they would have a daughter and married on 27 October 2007.

Description: | Meets MnTC Goal Areas 2, 6 and 9. This course is an introduction to the topic of ethics. In this course, the following questions are examined: What is ethics? How do we make ethical decisions? Are things that are legally right necessarily right? Should we consider our own interests when making ethical decisions?

Feeling the call of God on their lives to minister to the hearts of people, Brent and Kenneth Swanner formed TESTIFY in February of 1995. Landon Thompson joined TESTIFY September 25, 1999. TESTIFY is a full time music ministry dedicated to carrying out the call God has on their lives. TESTIFY comes to you with a servant's heart, making no demands. Giving the Lord their heart, mind, body and soul, they are, "Ready to Serve."
TESTIFY can be found in churches from Massachusetts to Denver. TESTIFY has also had the honor of singing at the Southern Baptist Convention, the Louisiana Baptist Convention, Gaither Vocal Band Homecoming Concerts, Chick-fil-a Corporate Headquarters, Theaters in Branson, at TBN (Trinity Broadcasting network, Gospel Music Television, the Grand Ole Opry, and in Nashville for a concert at Lifeway Christian Resource Center of the Southern Baptist Convention. In October 2001 TESTIFY joined some of Christian music's most popular artist at the Roy Acuff Theater for the "Heal Our Land Benefit Concert" for the victims of 9-11.
Please pray for TESTIFY as they march on to bring honor and glory to the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.
